Oliver Apartments

Oliver Apartments

In the fall of 2017 South Bend Heritage opened OliverApartments to house homeless individuals in South Bend. Located on the old Oliver School site at Indiana Ave and Kemble Street, Oliver Apartments features 32 one bedroom, one bath apartments. Oliver Apartments is designed to offer individuals that are homeless a place to live and access supportive services.

BENEFITS OF PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING: HOUSING FIRST
SUCCESSFUL -Supportive housing improves housing stability, employment, mental and physical health, and reduces active substance use. People in supportive housing live more stable and productive lives.
COST-EFFECTIVE -Supportive housing costs essentially the same amount as keeping people homeless and stuck in the revolving door of high-cost crisis care and emergency housing.
BENEFICIAL- Supportive housing helps build strong, healthy communities by improving the safety of neighborhoods, beautifying city blocks with new or rehabilitated properties, and increasing or stabilizing property values over time.
